icarolobo Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 So I need to make something like the attached image (Quadtree). The black strokes are the walls, extruded from a grid. And I need the size of these walls to vary (like a turbulent noise) without changing the thickness of it or overlapping with another wall. I tried to make a box, convert do vdb and copy to points several other box with a noise to its points and substract from the main vdb, but it either overlaps or vary the thickness of the wall. Is there a way to scatter some points to a grid and use it as the center of the extrude or something like that? I could use a pointvop to modulate the point's noise. Thanks!

Noobini Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 can't quite see how this is going to work, it's doable to vary the extrude amount for the floor of the rooms because they are "islands", as illustrated in the gif (simply the zscale in local control). But the walls are all joined, how you gonna extrude different sections of the same joined wall (in red) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobini Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 closest I could come up with, using my own Paneliser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icarolobo Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 Hey @Librarian and @Noobini, thanks for the response! Although this is very close to want I need, I'm afraid I'd need to vary the size in the X,Y plane, almost like a 2d view, really. The depth of the "room" would all be the same. I'm really stuck on how to approach this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(yes, its hard if you haven't got a working file but even some rudimentary test file might have helped clarify the problem) Edited July 22, 2020 by Noobini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
